While all of us in the jizz bizz struggle to put our shattered lives back together, there's this guy making ultra-softcore shit (by our standards), and raking in millions!
I'm talking about the "Girls Gone Wild" phenom. We all know that many companies in the traditional porn business struggle to put one or two-thousand pieces of their new releases out the door--with some companies claiming they're putting four or five-thousand pieces out--but the "Girls Gone Wild" people sold 4.5 million units last year!
Four-point-five fucking million!
Holy shit! If a traditional porn company manages to sell an average of four-thousand pieces for each new release, and they release 50 new titles a year, that would still only amount to 200,000 pieces. And you know what else? There's not any sex in the "Girls Gone Wild" tapes! In fact, there's less flesh than in a lot of Showtime or HBO shows. And these guys don't even pay for the talent!
What's with that?
I came across an article about "Girls Gone Wild," and maybe you should take a moment to read it. It's right here.
Ok, I'm not sure, but I think there might be something to learn from this "Girls Gone Wild" thing. First off, reality programming is apparently way more popular than anyone thought it to be.
Way, way more popular!
I guess that's why amateur tapes have been growing exponentially in popularity as well. You might already know that a lot of the guys on the net have already figured reality shit out-- Bangbus, California Pimp, Net Video Girls, and hundreds more. We, on the other hand, either haven't figured this out, or can't figure out a way to play off it.
Now don't go thinking I know anything more than you. I don't have the answer either, but I gotta tell you, my thinking cap is tightly affixed to the top of my melon. I'm pretty fucking sure there's a way to get into this with what we already do. I just haven't figured out how yet.
Listen if anyone out there figures this shit out, and you're the really, really generous type, email me your secret, would ya please?
Four-point-five million! I'll bet the LFP/Borg Empire would like to assimilate some of that!
